Mercedes-Benz Vans has confirmed pricing and spec details of its new Sprinter AWD. Here’s how much you can expect to pay for the Sprinter AWD motorhome.
Overlanding and the motorhome lifestyle have increased post-pandemic and its easy to see why. With a laptop and a good internet connection, its easy to work remotely and many have embarked on cross-country trips in their vehicles. Mercedes-Benz Vans has launched the Sprinter AWD Motorhome for those who want to explore the vastness that is South Africa.
Under the bonnet is the OM654 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine which produces 140 kW and 450 Nm, and the vehicle features a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Given the road conditions of South Africa, and the fact that many would like to venture offroad, the new Sprinter AWD Motorhome features all-wheel drive with torque on demand. The vehicle is primarily rear-wheel driven, but the moment it detects a loss of traction, the front axle is called into action.
To get from a standard Sprinter to a Motorhome, Mercedes-Benz SA has partnered with four local companies, known as VanPartners. They’re responsible for converting Sprinters/Vito/V-Class into vehicles suitable for service, adventure, trade and so on. The benefit of using VanPartners is the work is guaranteed by Mercedes-Benz.
How much does the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD Motorhome cost in South Africa?
The range starts at R716 926 for the Sprinter 311 CDI Standard, with the Sprinter 319 CDI AWD coming in at R1 199 348.
Please note this price is before the conversion to motorhome. When it comes to conversions and what’s possible, Mercedes-Benz Vans says the sky is the limit, with basic conversions costing from as little as R200 000, but can go up to R900 000.
